RABIES VACCINATIONS – Ohio and federal agencies will distribute the oral rabies vaccine from Aug. 18 through Sept. 9 in several areas of Mahoning County, along with Columbiana, Portage and Trumbull counties. The baits will be dropped from fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters or from vehicles on the ground. The vaccine will be an ORV bait called ONRAB in a blister pack covered in a waxy green coating that has a sugar-vanilla smell. The odor attracts targeted wild animals, such as raccoons, who eat the baits and are then vaccinated against rabies. Humans and pets cannot get rabies from contact with the baits. If found, leave the baits undisturbed. If a person has contact with a bait, immediately rinse the contact area with warm water and soap.
